[?] Custom Sky and Destroyable objects

[VapoMan]

Ive made a custom sky for my map Black Gold. I want to have the sky texture in my map folder so will load up ingame, but people wont have to edit common_client.zip

I have tried the following and it did not work, came up with an error saying it couldnt find it:

Next just recreate the file structure in your map like this.
Levels/Your_map_with_custom_sky/common/textures/sky
Now just drop your sky texture in the newly created sky folder. Pack your map, make sure that your texture and file structure has been saved in the client.zip if not packing by hand.

I also just realised the stairs I am using (stairs_v1) in my map are destroyable. Is there a way I could make them undestroyable just in my map. im guessing that I would have to edit the stairs_v1 tweak file and then put it in objects_client.zip in my map folder, but what are the actual lines that need to be changed.

stairs_v1 tweak file:

for custom tweaks in the map for any object, thats not working as the core overwrites them anyway.

it is possible to have a custom texture for either terrain, sun or sky inside the client.zip of the map.
you will have to recreate the file structur in it and/or edit the sky.con to get the new location.

Skydome.skyTexture levels\black_gold\common\textures\sky\Skytexutre

or

Skydome.skyTexture levels\black_gold\client\common\textures\sky\Skytexutre

OK I got the sky texture working thanks I did the same thing that I did before but for some reason it worked this time. Maybe it was just a typo I missed.

Could this:
ObjectTemplate.isDestructable 1

Be used in the staticobjects.con file? I think Ive seen it in there before.

Don't use the "stairs_v1" static, or any of the other afghan statics as they are all being phased out of the mod.

[VapoMan]

but theres no other stairs besides the afghan ones...

[VapoMan]

Sooo... is there any plan on replacing some of the statics? or is there any similar statics that people have seen from other mods?

I really really want the stairs, but if no ones making a replacement ill just redo those parts of the map

EDIT: eh dont worry about it, I decided to shut up and just remove the statics.
